It was a sunny afternoon, the recruitment officer had made him self a cup of afternoon tea. He sat down, lifted up the cup and was just about to take the first sip when he heard three knocks at the door.
-*sigh*, cant a man sit down and enjoy a cup of tea for 2 minutes before someone decides to stumble in and break the peace??
He sat there with the cup in his hand looking at the door and couldn't quite decide wether to ignore the one outside or tell the person to enter.
The person outside waited a moment, looked at a sign beside the door that said "Openhours: 8 am - 6 pm".
He briefly glanzed on his wristwatch, even though he knew that he was well inbetween the openhours explained on the sign.
-Weird.. He decided to try the handle on the door. It was open, so he stepped inside. Before him sat an officer staring at him with his mouth and eyes wide open with a cup in his hand. The officer suddenly reached for his sidearm when the person that stood in the doorway said.
-Calm down officer. Yes, I know that I'm not from around here. My appearance tells you that I'm from one of the planets in Kusari space. well.. New Tokyo to be exact.
-What do u want? The officer asked without letting go of the cup.
-I'm here to sign up for Bretonian Navy. He looked at the officer and gave the officer a while to let the information sink in. - You wonder offcourse why.. To make a long story very short. I have a warrent on my head in Kusari because I fail to share the same opinions as the government in Kusari. My whole family has gone missing for more than 7 weeks now, and I have been on the run during that time.
The officer took out a paper from the top drawer and started to fumble for a penn.
-errm.. yes, fill in your name etc here, and I will see what I can.. The officer paused to have one more look at the asian looking man that stood before him. -..do for you.
The man grabbed the paper and pen and wrote:
Name: Jin Tuan Ogisawa (Alias Joe Nio)
Birthplace: Kyushu, grew up on New Tokyo
Age: 40
Previous battle experince: Some
Any criminal activities in the passed: The Shogunate most likely thinks so, yes
If 'yes', please specify in short: I signed up as a solo pilote for the Blood Dragons for a few months
Your current call sign: Joe.Nio
Joe looked down on the application form. He went thrue the events that had led him here to Leeds in Bretonia. Very well, he thought. Lets stick around here for a while and see what happens. Joe handed over the paper to the officer. The officer hesitated for about three seconds. -Yes.. ehhmm, put it on my desk. Processing your application might.. He glanced at the paper, ..take a while Mr.Ogisawa. But we are a tad short of folks on this base at the moment, so I tell you what, laddie. Report in for duty to the officer for planetary defense. He has his office down the hall here. second door on the right.
He looked at Joe once more. - Tell him Paul sent you. Joe followed the direction, walked down the hall and knocked on the second door to the right. He heard a voice inside say -You may enter.
Joe started to get somewhat frustrated. 2 weeks have passed and still not a word from the recruitment office. He began to wonder if the officer actually had sent his application for processing. It was quite obvious after all that the recruitment officer wasn't exactly thrilled to have Joe joined the regular fleet. He went down to the recruitment office again the same afternoon, knocked at the door and stepped inside without waiting for a reply. A woman stood beside the desk. Joe assumed she was a secretary of a sort. - Good afternoon, miss. My name is Joe..ehh.. Jin Tuan Ogisawa. I turned in my application 2 weeks ago. I've had second thoughts since then, so could you be so kind and tell the recruitment officer that he can call off the signing up..process, or what ever you people call it. I'm leaving. The woman looked surprized at Joe and replied.
- Yes, ofcourse mr Ogisawa. I will leave him a note. Joe gave the woman a nod. -Thanks. Good bye.
He turned around and walked out.
